to the back bracket?on my hump back Victor II. If you have one you're willing
to sell please contact me off list. Thanks!

I just acquired a Victor VV-100 floor model, which a friend of mine found at
New Hampshire Dump "Swap Shop" of all places. When he called me on his way home
Sunday night and told me where he had got the machine, I totally expected that
he would pull in the yard with a beat up old Victor which I maybe could salvage
some parts from. As it turned out, the only things that seem to be missing are
the thumb screw on the Victor 2 reproducer and the knobs on the doors. There
are couple of minor veneer issues, but nothing that can't be overcome. most of
the machine had a white grunge all over it, but when I started to clean it up
with waterless non abrasive hand cleaner, a spectacular weathered Oak finish,
much like the example at this web site was revealed. Just scroll down to
Weathered Oak and look at the example to the right (under the lid). I was
unaware that these kinds of finishes were offered for medium priced machines
like the VV-100. I was wondering if this was a common occurrence, or this is
some kind of oddity for this model. http://www.victor-victrola.com/oak.htm

The full range of oak finishes was available on any Victrola listing
for $100 or more. The chart is shown in The Victor Data Book.
On a sample of 248 VV-100s, about 20% were oak (again from the
Victor Data Book).
